TRANSFORMATIONS

Front

What is a transformation in geometry?

Back

A transformation is an operation that moves or changes a shape in some way to create a new shape.

Front

What are the four main types of transformations?

Back

The four main types of transformations are translation, rotation, reflection, and dilation.

Front

What does it mean to translate a shape?

Back

To translate a shape means to slide it in any direction without changing its size, shape, or orientation.

Front

What is a rotation?

Back

A rotation is a transformation that turns a shape around a fixed point, called the center of rotation.

Front

What is a reflection?

Back

A reflection is a transformation that flips a shape over a line, creating a mirror image.

Front

What is dilation in geometry?

Back

Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a shape but keeps its proportions the same.

Front

What does a scale factor (SF) of 1 mean in dilation?

Back

A scale factor of 1 means the shape remains the same size after dilation.

Front

What does a scale factor greater than 1 indicate?

Back

A scale factor greater than 1 indicates an enlargement of the shape.

Front

What does a scale factor less than 1 indicate?

Back

A scale factor less than 1 indicates a reduction in the size of the shape.

Front

How do you perform a 90-degree clockwise rotation?

Back

To perform a 90-degree clockwise rotation, switch the coordinates (x, y) to (y, -x).
